Building Surveying
Building surveying with a fire safety perspective. We help you understand the condition, compliance and safety of your property, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
A building surveying perspective on your property
Daedon brings a building surveying viewpoint to fire safety, and building surveying support in its own right. Understanding how a building is constructed, how it performs and where it is failing gives a fuller, more reliable picture than fire safety alone.
Who it is for
Landlords, managing agents, freeholders, businesses and owners who need to understand the condition, defects or compliance of a property, whether for day-to-day management, a transaction, or planning works.
What we can help with
Our building surveying support covers the condition and compliance of your property, including:
Condition surveys
A clear assessment of the current condition of a building, its elements and where attention is needed.
Defect diagnosis
Investigating the cause of problems such as damp, movement or deterioration, and advising on remedies.
Compliance and regulatory advice
Helping you understand how a building measures up against relevant standards and duties.
Pre-acquisition and pre-lease surveys
An informed view of a property before you buy or take on a lease, so there are fewer surprises.
Planned maintenance advice
Guidance on what needs doing and when, so you can budget and prioritise sensibly.
Fire-safety-informed surveying
A survey that understands fire safety as well as building condition, joining up two views that are often kept separate.
What you receive
A clear, written report in plain English, setting out what we found, what it means and what we recommend, prioritised so you know what to deal with first.
Our consultancy approach
Daedon is a building surveying and fire safety consultancy. We assess, advise, review and report, and can recommend competent contractors for any works. We do not carry out the works ourselves, which keeps our advice independent.
